Blueberries


Already proven to boost memory, fight cancer and
cure urinary tract infections, scientists recently
pinpointed yet another benefit to eating this superfood:
Compounds in the berries curb cravings, so you eat less
without even trying! In fact, folks who nibbled
blueberries before a big meal took in 9% fewer
calories than those who didn't eat blueberries; that's
enough to help the average person lose up to a pound
a week. Pigments responsible for the berries' deep
blue color also turn on your brain's "I'm full" signal
and activate genes that regulate belly-fat burn and
reduce fat storage, explain researchers.
